- burtonator 8y agoWhy does it take a week to accept/deny that...? Note that they aren't actually DOING anything in this week. The Polar extension is literally just sitting waiting for someone to approve it because I updated the images.
- necovek 8y agoThey've got a queue to work through. I am sure the queue is prioritized in a way that is not to your advantage (i.e. most popular extensions get reviewed more quickly). Why don't you suggest your users to switch to a browser that does not force them to use a central repository that's too slow to get your updates? You need to convince them at the same time that there are no benefits lost to the way Chrome Web Store operates.
- vec 8y agoPresumably they are doing something during that week; namely code reviewing all the patches in front of yours in the queue. Don't get me wrong. I, too, wish that other developers would drop whatever they're doing on demand to prioritize my immediate needs. I would also prefer that they waive their normal security concerns because, after all, I already know that I am trustworthy. I've got enough self awareness not to publish a blog post about it, though.
- ldiracdelta 8y agoThey could be applying back pressure on the review queue. I'm going to guess that you'll be doing a lot fewer releases now. Anyways, I get that the turnaround time stinks.
- monkin 8y ago> Why does it take a week to accept/deny that...? Because they have to check hundreds of thousands of applications a day, most of which improve stupid things like typos. Having the biggest part of the cake doesn't help either.
